User groups: Difference between revisions

This article covers the default user groups on SkyWiki wikis and the permissions they have assigned to them. Some wikis may choose to add or remove permissions from a group or completely delete a user group, so this guide may not be indicative or accurate on some wikis which have chosen to deviate from the default user groups and permissions. No wiki, however, can delete a restricted local group or a global group.

== Local groups ==

'''Local groups''' are all groups which only have power on one wiki, their local wiki. Unlike global groups which can do certain actions on all ~~Miraheze~~ wikis, local groups only have power on one wiki.

Below is a list of all local groups as they are by default and includes ''restricted'' user groups which only [[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Stewards~~]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Trust and Safety~~]] can assign.

'''Bureaucrat''' is the highest local group a user can obtain by default. Bureaucrats can promote and demote administrators and interface administrators. Additionally, bureaucrats are not affected by rate limits, can override local account spoofing checks in [[mw:Extension:AntiSpoof|AntiSpoof]], can access [[Special:MyLanguage/ManageWiki|ManageWiki]], and can edit interwiki data.

By default, bureaucrats '''''cannot''''' be demoted by other bureaucrats, only [[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Stewards]] may do that. Bureaucrats also hold an immense amount of power locally. '''Only promote trusted users to bureaucrat'''. If you are a bureaucrat, you can request other bureaucrats be demoted on the ~~[[Stewards' noticeboard|Stewards' noticeboard]]~~ (granted you have a good reason for it such as bureaucrat or community consensus, resignation, or another good reason).

'''Only promote trusted users to bureaucrat'''. If you are a bureaucrat, you can request other bureaucrats be demoted on the Steward requests/Permissions (granted you have a good reason for it such as bureaucrat or community consensus, resignation, or another good reason).

The bureaucrat group alone does not give users the ability to do many tasks often associated with being an administrator, such as banning users and deleting pages. To achieve all of that, you must also be an administrator.

=== {{int:Group-autopatrolled}} ===

'''Autopatrolled''' (in the "<code>autopatrolled</code>" group) is a group which allows users' edits to be automatically 'patrolled' (marked as "reviewed") and prevent ~~them~~ from appearing ~~in the Recent Changes~~ with a red exclamation point. These users can also mark other's edits as reviewed. This permission is typically granted to users who have shown that they don't need to be monitored.

By default, autopatrolled users may be promoted or demoted by administrators.

=== Restricted local user groups ===

On all wikis, a few groups exist which are not assignable by bureaucrats. These groups are only assignable by users in global groups with the <code>userrights</code>/<code>userrights-interwiki</code> permission in their toolset as all these user groups wield an immense amount of power locally.

==== {{int:Group-checkuser}} ====

{{hatnote|For more information (including how to request one), please see [[Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser|CheckUser]].}}

'''CheckUser''' is a special group and tool which allows its wielders (called {{int:Group-checkuser}}) to check users' IP addresses, user-agents, along with some other information. This permission is only used when investigating sockpuppetry or platform abuse and is not assignable by local bureaucrats. CheckUser is restricted for use only by [[Stewards]]

'''Suppressor''' is a special group which allows its wielders (called {{int:Group-Suppressor}}) to completely suppress and hide log entries and revisions from everyone who is not an {{int:Group-Suppressor}}, including local administrators and even Stewards themselves when they do not have the <code>Suppressor</code> flag on. It is typically only used to hide personal information and is not assignable by local bureaucrats. Oversight is restricted for use only by [[Stewards]]
